WATCHING MAN OF STEEL FOR THE FIRST TIME REACTION/ COMMENTARY 

GUYS THE ZACK SNYDER JUSTICE LEAGUE REACTION IS HERE ON THE SOLO CHANNEL IF YOU WANT TO WATCH - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-1Pqgn5vQUCA.html

Ok the optimal watching order of the DC movies is a little tricky. Too much studio interference led to us getting a subpar first look at these films. 1) Man of Steel (which you've seen) 2) Batman vs Superman: Dawn of Justice (Ultimate Edition 3hr version). The theatrical release is choppier, and cut out some plot points, for time, that some movie-goers found confusing in the theaters 3) Suicide Squad. Bit of a side quest. Not really central to the overall universe but introduces you to more DC characters and a couple of cameos. 4) Wonder Woman 5) Zack Snyder's Justice League (2021). Do not watch the Theatrical version. It's a bad call by the studio. The original director left due to family tragedy during post production. The study reshot most of the movie and gave use a different movie in theaters. Just watch the one released in 2021. 6) Aquaman 7)Shazam

The reason Clark wasn't using his powers at the tornado was because for one, his dad didn't want him to reveal he is different, and also he did not yet know the full extent of his powers. They knew he was strong but they didn't know he is practically invincible so his dad did not want him risking his life

The reason the Kryptonian council was going on like business as usual is that they didn't believe Jor El that the planet was gonna blow up as soon as he claimed.

Superman's vision is heat, not laser lol Edit: and his dad died because he was protecting his son's secret. He didn't want clark to be rejected, experimented on, etc. He'd rather die than live to see the entire world turn on his kid. He believed in Clark, but he didn't believe he was ready at that point to deal with humanity's BS attitude.

This is an absolute masterpiece, the tone, the life lessons, Henry Cavill's performance, top notch. It's a movie that really makes you think about the deeper themes of super powers and life.

It's refreshing to see someone come into this film with certain expectations, have those expectations largely subverted, and still fully grasp what the film makers were going for...instead of just turning to rage and hate because it wasn't another retread of Reeves' Superman. I felt like this take on the character was 1) well done and 2) very topical. Cavill killed it.

This movie was a philosophical debate and a lot of people just weren’t ready for it

Problem was people went into theatre with a mindset of watching a simple superhero movie and nobody was ready for the thought provoking nature of this movie plus the growing mistrust of people in this modern era. In today's world if anyone like Superman emerged, people will be sceptical of him and wonder what his agenda is.

Whats good guys as stated in the intro, While I wait for the MCU to approve the videos I'm checking out another universe, Starting with none other than the MAN OF STEEL, can't wait to get deeper into this series as I've heard this one got a bad rap but I actually quite enjoyed it and am looking forward to watching the rest!! Hope you enjoy and as always check out the Patreon for the Full Video along with other reactions!!!

52:35 Well said sir! Zack Snyder's DCEU movies draw from many previous and familiar DC elements (from your POV, Smallville) to tell the story of these awesome DC characters, but from a 21st century ground level experience and Zack's story telling asks of us the audience, some powerful & challenging questions, which some folks just didn't get or really buy into. Glad to see you also enjoying this kind of story telling! I think you're only at the beginning and going to enjoy the wild ride that's about to unfold for you across some epic movies to come. And I look forward to sharing in your journey! Thanks again for the content.

The next one will be Batman V Superman and make sure to watch the Ultimate Edition (it's 3 hours long). BvS will surprise you a lot more, it'll be more complex, it'll be more focusing on morality of human. The Batman in this, you probably won't like him cause he has this broken morality. And BvS will be a straight continuity from Man of Steel. It'll be like what Perry said in this movie, "Can you imagine how people in this world would react if they found out there's somebody like that out there?"

The main reason Clark's secret identity works in this is that the world knows superman exists but superman's photo has never been featured in the newspapers or anywhere. Louis dropped the story and never published it. Clark with glasses makes him look weak, soft and a geek (which is a stereotype) to the daily planet and the world.

In BvS you see that Pa Kent was right about keeping Clark's powers secret and how the world would react. He was just a father doing what he thought was best for his son. You see in the tornado scene that Clark thinks about running over and starts to go but his dad holds his hand up and Clark listens.

This movie gets so much unnecessary hate and I don't understand why aside from the whole stupid Marvel vs. DC battle that has gone on for way too long. I love this film so much and I will defend it.

By her math about how many he saves vs how many they kill. He just needs to save 7000 humans before they will kill everyone on the planet. Also one of the biggest parts for me was when he screamed after he killed Zod; he wasn't just upset about killing someone though that was clearly a large part of it. He also realized that he had just killed the last of his people, perhaps experiencing the same feelings that Zod had when he spoke about how he no longer 'had people'' at the start of the fight.

Make sure to watch Batman vs Superman - Ultimate edition and then Zack Snyder’s Justice League

"I'm gonna have to forget everything I think I know about Superman, and let this movie tell it to me." And just like that, you are light-years ahead of the "critics" who watched this film back in 2013 and moaned that "iT wASn't lIkE tHe cHrisTopHer rEevEs mOiVeS aT aLL!" and gave it bad grade simply because it dared to tell a different type of Superman story

My man Rico where you at?? Nearly a month since you've uploaded anything

Welcome to the DC Snyderverse 😂 where you fall in love with repeat viewings. Everything tells a story, cinematography, music. I’m happy for you. More comic book content!

MOS was ahead of its time IMO. We saw for the first time visually how crazy it truly would be if beings such as Supes existed and fought on Earth. It would be absolutely mind/reality shattering and terrifying. Everyone who worked on this movie should be proud. It's a beautiful film and to me a very fresh take on Supes. I'm hoping we see a MOS 2 eventually. Henry and Zack both deserve to continue the story of this Supes.

I enjoy this movie, and I remember watching it in theaters when it first came out. I like the decision to show Superman as a raw and more realistic character. I'm also glad you mentioned Smallville -- such a good show! Thanks for posting!

I really liked Man Of Steel. It's definitely one of the better DCEU movies made. Hopefully they come out with another stand alone movie for Kal and fix their franchises.

Fun fact: There were comic books that came out related to this movie before it came out. The ship Clark took, is actually his cousin’s scout ship! Kara, Supergirl. There a pod with a skeleton, another one open!

My favourite reaction by you so far! 🔥 DC is incredibly underrated. Please continue 🙏🏽

12:20 - You should watch The Boys, Invincible, and Brightburn to see how that would go

You watch the TV series Smallville, I'm already loving this video ! Also, you need to catch up on Superman & Lois, it's a mix between Man of Steel and Smallville, wonderful series.

I’m sad there hasn’t been a theatrical scene of one my favorite moments of Superman from the comics. He stays all day and all night with someone about to jump from a building to commit suicide. He doesn’t say anything first he stays there floating in front of them whilst they sit on the edge of the building crying. He then gently floats them down after they decide not to jump after a conversation they had in the early hours of the next morning. But so far Henry has been one of my favorite Superman portrayals many other actors do Clark’s character better but as far as Superman goes Henry has been the best

Best thing was redesigning the Superman suit.

Man of steel was definitely ahead of its time, i love watching this movie every so often. The fight scenes. The score.

It's refreshing to hear someone say they're going to be open minded and trust the movie to tell them the story

The council already decried that no one was allowed to leave because it would cause "unnecessary" panic. That's why the Els only made a ship big enough for Kal. (The later BS about being of that broken world, is a Snyder input) That whole terrified scenario you brought up was done in a recent movie called Brightburn. It's pretty crazy, and worth a watch. Did you actually watch Smallville? It was all about morals! They did do stuff like this in Smallville, but they slowed it down to their perspective instead. It is a completely other beast seeing it through normal human perception with the ironically in Smallville, fight scene! "Welcome to the planet" is one of my favorite lines from the DCEU. I'm so glad you had that last take on things, because that's exactly what Superman is. People misunderstand him so often as some super being throwing his weight around, but Superman is more a man of immeasurable restraint, than applied power!

8:15 haven't watched the rest of the reaction yet, but I can say this: the reason it happened like that is Kryptonian society and government was so mired in the status quo that they literally were ignoring evidence the planet would die for years. That was kinda Jor-El's last chance to do something right by his people who had so few willing to break from the norm and fight for what they believe in; Jor-El hoping that someone can survive and learn from their mistakes and right their wrongs, and Zod thinking if he was in control he could have saved at least some of his people if his planet was lost.

@8:07 This because while Krypton is about to self-destruct, no one believed Superman's father aside from Lara, his wife.

Smallville was so great growing up, sad Mon isnt here for the ride but glad my boy Rico is taking this journey

If your interested about more superman stories there’s one called Red Son, instead of being found by the Kent’s he crash lands in the Soviet Union 😂 it’s a really cool story

Just watching this and I love the reaction from yourself noticing Clark’s reaction when he hears that his mother is in danger.

I'm 37 years old and I've watched alot of superman movies growing up.. this byfar is the best one ever made!!! Seen it like 15 times already.

So when is The next video

I love the music in this movie Hans Zimmer is awesome! Keep up the great work man and I loved SmallVille it was my fav show I rewatched it a few years ago

Heyyy rico is everything okay its been 3 weeks already at least give us an update

As much as I all love this movie, I hate the Johnathan kent death, there was a reason why it was a heart attack, it was to show Clark that no matter how powerful he was there was still some things you couldnt prevent, a humbling experiance that showed him how precious life was.

The General was the only person to not back off when Clark confronted him. God it's so thought out. The film is shows how much Clark values life. Him having to take one to end the fight and the pain he experiences with it. He understands that he needs to make sure it doesn't happen again

Davis S. Goyer... Christopher Nolan (Producer). and Zach Snyder: its like an dreamteam. after 5 times i see this movie....I LOVE IT

imo man of steel is the greatest solo superhero film ever put to the big screen, the acting, action, story telling, plot and the score make such an amazing and complex movie.

Excellent reaction! So glad you enjoyed this. I loved seeing your excitement throughout. Definitely continue this up to Zack Snyder’s Justice League. It keeps the same momentum. You’ll be as equally engaged. Hope to see more of this franchise soon!

The first capes*it movie that made me cry, very underrated movie and underrated director!

The scene with Clark asking Lois "what do you think". Is a question to the audience.

Your ability to see Superman beyond his powers is sharp :) This is why we like him. The best we can be.

Yours is my fave reaction vid to MoS so far. That was fun and substantive. Thank you!

My mans said “you have to do this in time, come Clark, come on Superman, come on Kal El, COME ON!”😂😂

I hate when people say Hes nota relatable character because he’s to all powerful. He’s a man trying to figure out his place in the world, while his two father figures are telling him opposite ways to live. The movie is him trying to figure out which path in life to chose, and at the end of the day he doesn’t get to chose he is thrown into the responsibility which is a very relatable subject but it’s not a subject that everyone is going to relate to

Before this movie I thought of superman was just a superhero who was given all the power that people can imagine, this movie made me really respect superman.

Hans zimmers score for this movie is GOATed

Faora actually gives him the work in the comics too. Her and Zod fight him and Wonder Woman and faora gives him the business in that fight.

As a DC fan, I am really glad to hear how you understand the restraint and morality of Superman. Most people don’t pick up on that. I’ll definitely be watching your other reactions. Even with his godlike powers, the peoples respect is more important to him than the peoples fear.

The most underrated super hero movie ever, it’s a class film. Great reaction

Great reaction. Thank you. Not essential, but if you're wanting a chronological order to watch these DCEU movies it would be. (Man of Steel) (Batman v Superman Ultimate Edition) (Wonder Woman) (Suicide Squad) (Zack Snyders Justice League) (Aquaman) (Shazam) (The Suicide Squad)

The singularity only dragged in kryptonians with is why Clark struggled but Lois was fine

Best portrayal by Cavill and awesome direction by Zack Snyder. My favorite Superman movie of all time.

You should check out the show Superman & Lois. It’s a very solid modern take on Superman, that delves into a lot relatable issues. Lois’s character is very elevated in the show so she isn’t just someone who needs rescuing all the time. It also gives a perfect look into the duality of Clark & Superman showing exactly why people never know he’s Superman. Also the quality of the effects is top notch, far better than other live action shows it’s like movie quality.

Amazing, now you need to watch in this order the next movies: Batman v Superman: Ultimate Edition (2016) Wonder Woman (2017) Zack Snyders Justice League (2021)

Honestly the fight between superman and those two kryptonians is the best in any superhero film to date

He doesn't know how powerful he is. Notice in the town wreckage scene he ran when they started shooting but found out when he did take 1 to the head

I saw this movie in imax on my 12th birthday so it will always sit as one of my all time favorites :)

"Man did a Voldemort" 🤣🤣🤣

I love the questions and statements you made throughout this. You were really engaged with it and it showed. Also 38:48 is relevant to the Superman and Lois series in one of the final episodes, watch it.

If you watch BRIGHTBURN , you get a sense of what if someone like superman came to earth and was evil.

Only a true Superman fan will notice the christopher Reeve superimposed on henry Cavill face during the gravity machine thing.

"Release order": MoS, Batman v Superman Ultimate Edition, Suicide Squad, Wonder Woman, Zack Snyder's Justice League, Aquaman, Shazam, Birds of Prey, WW 1984, The Suicide Squad "Chronological order": Wonder Woman, WW 1984, MoS, BvS UE, SS, ZSJL, Aquman, Shazam, Birds of Prey, TSS #RestoreTheSnyderVerse

When your watching a different version of something, always look at it as a different film or series, otherwise you will just end up confused and annoyed and won't enjoy it for what it is :)

where is he its been a month o.o

The action in this movies climax...... spectacular. Snyder never dissapoints with the visuals

Fun fact about the interrogation scene if you notice when Superman approach those people the general was the only one that did not flinch then watch Justice League Zack Snyder version

I really like this movie. I'm glad you did too. Looking forward to more DC :)

She's not dragged in because the portal only affects people who used the phantom drive so thats zods people, superman and the debris of the earth that was affected by the world engine

yo rico what going on bro is everything is ok?? where are u hiding for 2 weeks now update us bro atleast to know that you are okaie and doing well

12:50 such a shame we never got to see Optimus prime and Supes' fight

19:43 lol, in Smallville he learned flying literally in last episode not couple of seasons))

I loved Man of Steel. Thought Henry Cavil did great. It's funny to see all these British actors playing true blue American characters so superbly, ie., this performance and Andrew Garfield and Tom Holland playing Peter Parker.

I love your speaking voice. I dont know how I found this video but Im going to keep watching.

Great reaction, man! Loved your commentary - I saw it the same way the first time I watched it. The restraint Clark has had his whole life... crazy. And I agree with the commenter Michael Ash regarding the order of the next movies and which versions (BVS: Ultimate Edition only and Zack Snyder's Justice League, mainly). Thanks for sharing, looking forward to the rest!

Absolutely fantastic reaction 😊This is one of my all-time favorite film

The movie Brightburn explores a scenario you ponder on early in the movie, what happens if Superman isn’t good, but a psychopath as a kid?

next to watch in chronological order is batman v superman ultimate edition (which is the directors cut), I'd say skip suicide squad, then watch wonder woman then zack snyders justice league, then aquaman, then shazam

I grew up with the original Christopher Reeves movies, but Smallville. Man Of Steel and Superman and Lois are my favorite versions of Superman

I've been a superman fan for most of my life 44yrs I loved this movie. Watch all of Christopher Reeves movies I enjoyed this one more. Although you should watch those to.

35:14 the tag line for the first ever superman movie was "you'll believe a man can fly"

Right you should drop all expectations and all you think you know about a franchise and just let the movie you went to see tell you their story. Unfortunately most DC people didn't do that when this came out and dished it but now people see it in a different light and love it

The thing about the secret identities is that it isn't about how they're unrecognizable but how unbelievable for it to be that person.

The council on krypton didn’t believe Superman’s dad, so they didn’t leave, and his wife was ideologically against it

The best superhero cast, amazing history, masterpiece

Best order for the DCEU: - Man of Steel - BvS Ultimate Edition - Suicide Squad (Extended Cut) - Wonder Woman - Zack Snyder's Justice League - Aquaman - Birds of Prey - Shazam / Wonder Woman 84 / The Suicide Squad (any order!)

What man would send his 17 year old kid back to get the doggy? Who cares what he can do, he's still your baby boy.

The next one should be "Batman v Superman" then "wonderwoman"...then "Aquaman"..then "Zack Snyder's Justice League " that's the order the movies came out in theatres.

Notice the oil truck said LEXCORP when fighting with General Zod? See you next DC movie..

Bro he had to to kill zod a lot of people don’t understand Superman begged him and you can see the pain in his face because he didn’t want to.. man of steel is the most underrated comic book movie but IMO it’s one of the best comic book movie/Superman movies of all time! Now kal knows what it feels like to kill a person and he knows he doesn’t ever want to do it again but zod said it himself “either he dies or zod dies.” 😂 he’s a savage

The key with 's' on it, as soon as he put that on his ship, it installed his father's conciousness

I loved Smallville, but you need to put it aside. Consider it an alternate reality where things happened very differently with Clark growing up. The movies follow more along the line of the comics. Smallville basically condensed many thing into occurring while Clark was growing up rather than after he became Superman. Why did they get sucked in and Lois didn't? You really need to pay more attention. The process would suck that which had been in the Phantom Zone back into it. Lois hadn't been there. Doesn't mean if she was close enough it wouldn't suck her in too. Think of it like they and their ship had a high charge which cause them to get sucked into the black hole (?) Stuff not having been there have a smaller charge so are less attracted. If you haven't watched the Firefly series and the movie following it Serenity you should. Also, based on your comment about restraint and being a better man in the bar scene. Watch at around 35 minutes into episode 4 of firefly called Shindig. There is a sword fight and the main character talks about mercy being the sign of a great man. This one scene gives a great deal of insight into the main character.

32:27 did anyone see lunar eclipse here😂
